Working on the Sabbath

Today I offered to pick up a shift for a co-worker.  It was hard to leave the kids today for some reason maybe because we are heading up to the cabin tomorrow and I know our family time for the next month is really limited.  But here I am with 25% weekend differential plus another 10% for my evening shift.  My hours for the next few weeks are lower then normal so by picking up this shift it evens out.  I did turn down a shift at the other hospital.  I could have made it work but it seemed like too much effort and it is the week that Lee is gone and it means I would have not seen the kids for an entire day.  Which I am doing next Sunday but with Lee gone it didn't seem fair to them or me. Rumor has it that we will start adding more hours to cover the ED but I am really hoping that will not effect me at all.  I am working the entire weekend next weekend.  Yea time and half boo limited family time.  Although the fourth of July is usually pretty slow. 

I am texting Lee and I am reading blogs about large families.  And I making a list of July's goals and things to do.  I failed at June's goals.  July is a new month with new motivation. 

Hoping we can get the van back tomorrow which is a long story. 

We are at the point where we are ready to settle with insurance. Luke appears to have given up crawling and is now offically walking everywhere. I am hoping after Lee's trip and I can total all the bills and come up with a number that insurance will in turn not want to pay and we will go back and forth until which time they will cut us a check.  Good times for sure.  The medical bills have turned into a mess.  Some were paid by our insurance, some were not paid and some our health insurance picke up.  All bills should have been paid by USAA.  Ugg.  I need a secretary to help me sort through paperwork.  I have to sort through the stack of bills fax over the bills to USAA.  Call our health insurance, go to the hospital to get a copy of all the medical records because USAA won't just except the coding they want the notes as well because they are denying that the ER visit was due to an accident. 

I lost a friendship even Lee commented on it.  The whole thing went down so fast and it was over something that maybe I could have prevented but some things just aren't worth fighting for.  It is akward because it is somebody that I have to have contact with.  Oh well, life will go on.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...
